• Hornets' Taj Gibson: Quiet in spot start

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Gibson had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Monday's 114-93 loss to Minnesota. Gibson was given the starting nod, a fair indication as to how desperate the Hornets are when it comes to the center position. Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (shoulder) are both sidelined, meaning Gibson is going to be forced to play for the foreseeable future. Now in the twilight of his career, this move is unlikely to result in meaningful production.

  Gibson is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

• Hornets' Taj Gibson: Signs pact with Buzz City

  Gibson signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Hornets on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Gibson briefly played for both the Knicks and Pistons last season, during which he averaged 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes in only 20 regular-season appearances. The 39-year-old will serve as a valuable veteran presence on the Hornets; however, he will likely pick up minimal playing time behind Mark Williams and Nick Richards.

• Pistons' Taj Gibson: Scores five points in return

  04/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gibson (hamstring) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in nine minutes off the bench in Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Nets. Making his return from the right hamstring strain that had sidelined him for each of the previous nine games, Gibson ended up being needed as a backup center while Detroit had only 10 players available. Assuming the Pistons get at least one of Jalen Duren (ankle), Tosan Evbuomwan (G League assignment) or Simone Fontecchio (toe) back in action for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, Gibson will likely find himself outside of the rotation.
